I installed the linux_lib package (as of yesterday) and installed the server and configuretion tool. At startup the server changes to another virtual terminal and dies. Switching back to the original vt I find an error messages about an unimplemented VT call.

The Linux emulation code lacks a couple of VT ioctl calls, so you will
not be able to run a Linux X server without some hackery. I got it
to work one day, but forgot how.. At some point the Linux VT ioctls
that are needed will be implemented (on top of the already existing ones;
currently, there are enough to support things like Linux svgalib).
